In 1983, Harley-Davidson set up the H.O.G. Harley Owners' Club to meet the riders' desire to share their passion and show pride. Since this year, HOG, a pig born with honor, has grown and grown: in 1985, 49 local chapters took root in the United States, with a total membership of 60,000; the rapid development continued into the last century. the 90s. In 1991, the first European HOG rally was held in Cheltenham, England. The HOG Harley Cars Club officially became an international organization with 685 local chapters and 150,000 global members.

A long time ago, it dates back to the early 1920s. The official racing team of Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle Company was called the “Wrecking Crew” in those days. The reason for this title is precisely because they are able to achieve impressive results in every bad cinder track race. Interestingly, the extra member of the team is a pig that is a mascot rather than a racing driver. Whenever the team wins the game, the team picks up the pig, puts it on the fuel tank, carries it, and rides around the field to celebrate the victory. After that, racing fans and some media began to informally call this team "Harley Hogs", and over time, this gradually replaced the original "Wrecking Crew" and became The new synonym of the team.

After a while, the nickname of "Harley Hogs" gradually faded out, and "hog" became a slang term for Harley motorcycle lovers. So what is the name of "hog"? Even the third edition of the "American Slang Dictionary" has solemnly added an explanation under the word "hog" - referring to "the motorcycle or motorcycle rider of the 1960s" and mentioned Harley Davidson in the subsequent description. In 1983, the Harley Owners Group was more official and more widely recognized as the Harley Motorcycle Owner became the first group sponsored by a motorcycle dealer. . The above is the dual meaning of H.O.G. and the origin of H.O.G.
